20,000 lbs. statutory for each trailer axle, provided that there is a 10' spread between the axles. This does not affect the gross weight you are allowed.

12,000 on the steers (can be up to 20,000 so long as the vehicle does not exceed the 80,000 GVW limit), and the drive and trailer tandems are permitted a total of 34,000 for each pair of axles. Trailers with spread axles are permitted up to 20,000 lbs. per axle for a total of 40,000 on the trailer axles, but again must remain within that 80,000 GVW limit.


How do you evenly load a fifty three foot semi trailer?

You have to put your weight evenly between your trailer axles and your trucks rear axles. You have to know the weight limit of your truck and trailer, it should say in the owner's manual or you can read the weight limit on the tires. The majority of the weight should be on the trailer because if you put most of the weight on the truck the trailer will begin to fishtail. If it is a flatbed trailer and you look along the side you will see that it bows up, you should never load it to were it bows down because it is probably overloaded at that point. Also you should read the owner's manual to learn how to move the axles on the trailer.
